Milwaukee, WI, October 5, 2026 —
We Energies, a major utility provider, has entered into an agreement to supply electricity generated from Wisconsin’s Point Beach Nuclear Plant to power a significant data center operated by Oracle. The proposed deal, detailed in a recent announcement, aims to provide a dedicated energy source for Oracle’s “Project Lighthouse” data center campus located in Ozaukee County.
Under the terms of the agreement, Oracle would subscribe to a specific percentage of the energy output produced by the Point Beach Nuclear Plant. This arrangement is contingent upon securing the necessary regulatory approvals. If approved, the deal would establish a direct link between the nuclear facility’s power generation and Oracle’s extensive data center operations.
The Point Beach Nuclear Plant is a key component of Wisconsin’s energy infrastructure, contributing to the state’s electricity supply. The agreement with Oracle signifies a potential shift in how large-scale technology operations source their power, with a focus on utilizing stable, baseload energy from nuclear sources.
Details regarding the specific percentage of energy Oracle would subscribe to, the financial terms of the agreement, or the projected timeline for regulatory review were not immediately available. The contractor responsible for managing this power supply arrangement was also not specified in the announcement.
